The ruling stars of Gemini
may have been Alhena (the
'Mark', γ), which
rose in July 3 (184),
and Pollux (the
immortal of the twins, β)
in July 15 (196).
At the same
time a knowing observer in
the night could have seen
how the stars at the end of
'Land', Ascella and Nunki (ζ
respectively σ Sagittarii)
took over at the
beginning of the nakshatra Uttara
Ashadha.
But the long Ardra
nakshatra, where Sun was in
the daytime, continued:

Probably Metoro here
alluded to kahi
(the 'Tuna') with
his kai:
...
Rangitokona,
prop up the heaven!
// Rangitokona,
prop up the morning!
// The pillar stands
in the empty space.
The thought [memea]
stands in the
earth-world - //
Thought stands also
in the sky.
The kahi
stands in the
earth-world - //
Kahi stands also
in the sky.
The pillar stands,
the pillar - // It
ever stands, the
pillar of the sky.
Then for the first
time was there light
between the Sky and
the Earth; the world
existed ...
There should be a
'pillar' (ana)
pushing the sky up
where
light ('Land') is
returning. Wezen (the
'Weight', δ Canis
Majoris) had
possibly the
position of the 'Kahi'.
Probably the measure 107 days
after March 21 was a
significant date. A
lead weight hanging
down (like a tuna
with its head down)
could be
contrasted with
Nodus II (δ
Draconis)
high up in the night
sky.
Anciently (taketake)
the Dove of Noah
(Phakt,
α Columbae) was
returning
with a Sign of 'the
year in leaf' in her
beak, which meant Wezen at
the back of Canis
Majoris was not far
in front:

In contrast to
the Dove of
Light
there was at the
other end of the
year the
frigthening
Dark Apollyon:
The composition
can be compared
with how
Hevelius
illustrates the
battle between
Spring Bull and
Orion:
